A security researcher has discovered that Microsoft Edge will load all your stored passwords into memory in plaintext at startup, making it easy for malware to scrape those passwords.

    They say not to worry because they know nobody uses that dumpster fire of a browser so there’s no actual risk of your passwords being leaked since you’re not using it anyways.

      Unless you’re like me and the websites you use for work require it and don’t work in literally any other browser (I have tried everything)
